Amazon Description
This is the fourth book in the Geiserts" series on small towns which conveys, through simple text and expressive pictures, the wonder and personality of everyday life in the United States. A desert town, once the end of the line for shipping cattle, is no longer a stopping point for the railroad. The town endures blazing heat throughout the summer months, and everyone must find a way to stay cool. Some do their work at night, some take refuge in the air-conditioned store, and everyone moves at a slow pace. The Geiserts have once again captured the authenticity and essence of small-town America. The hot, dry desert town is prone to harsh weather conditions. It even snows sometimes. But in spite of extreme weather, the town is full of life and readers are witnesses to many cheerful happenings over the course of a year. The exquisite detail of the artwork will challenge readers to look beyond the text and deeper into the story of Desert Town and the people who call it their home.New Offers
